GLOBAL DIGITAL FINANCE : THE FUTURE OF CRYPTO AND DIGITAL ASSETS

On 4 th January, our Consortium member, Andrea Berruto, attended the Webinar “The Future Of Crypto And Digital Assets” hosted by Professor Michael Mainelli, Executive Chairman of the Z/Yen Group where Lawrence Wintermeyer, Executive Co-Chair of Global Digital Finance (GDF) illustrated the GDF 2020 Annual Report.

With the price of bitcoin breaking through $20,000 and heading into uncharted territory, private investors and institutions are now flocking to this new asset class that many were disparaging just a couple of years back.

Among numerous things, the following topics were discussed: institutional investment in digital asset, DeFi, CBDC, Diem launch, Crypto tax treatment, Tokenization, self-hosted wallets.

For those who want to learn more about these topics, we refer you to the GDF Annual Report 2020.
